Sunfood Superfoods Broken Cell Wall Chlorella Tablets - 250 Mg., 8oz., 117149,900

Sunfood's Chlorella is 100% Vegan and raw. It's "broken cell" Chlorella which makes it's benefits accessible, therefore useable in the body. Some call this a "Superfood", being a blue-green algae, and packed with so many health-helpful benefit. Most good sources will not go on record in including Chlorella as a super-food, there's question as to how much good it does, where the Chlorella is harvested and contamination, and has not had the advantage of long-term studies to draw hard lines. Here's what WebMD has to say: Chlorella is a type of algae that grows in fresh water. The whole plant is used to make nutritional supplements and medicine. Most of the chlorella that is available in the U.S. is grown in Japan or Taiwan. It is processed and made into tablets and liquid extracts. These extracts contain "chlorella growth factor," which is described as a water-soluble extract of chlorella containing chemicals including amino acids, peptides, proteins, vitamins, sugars, and nucleic acids. Be aware that chlorella products can vary significantly depending on the way “the crop” used to make them was cultivated, harvested, and processed. Investigators have found that dried preparation of chlorella can contain from 7% to 88% protein, 6% to 38% carbohydrate, and 7% to 75% fat. As a medicine, chlorella is used for preventing cancer, reducing radiation treatment side effects, stimulating the immune system, improving response to flu vaccine, increasing white blood cell counts (especially in people with HIV infection or cancer), preventing colds, protecting the body against toxic metals such as lead and mercury, and slowing the aging process. Chlorella is also used to increase “good” bacteria in the intestine in order to improve digestion; and to help treat ulcers, colitis, Crohn's disease, and diverticulosis. Some people also use chlorella for the prevention of stress-related ulcers; treatment of constipation, bad breath, and hypertension; as an antioxidant; to reduce cholesterol; to increase energy; to detoxify the body; and as a source of magnesium to promote mental health, relieve premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and reduce asthma attacks. It is also used for fibromyalgia. Chlorella is applied to the skin for treating skin ulcers, rashes caused by radiation treatment, and a sexually transmitted disease called trichomoniasis. How does it work? Chlorella is a good source of protein, fats, carbohydrates, fiber, chlorophyll, vitamins, and minerals. The cell wall of chlorella must be broken down before people can digest it. This is "broken-cell", ready to be used by your body providing iron/blood, protein/muscle growth & repair, vitamin A/eyes and skin, and trace minerals for maintenance & repair. I simply see from the research I've done, and selecting Sunfood's brand of chlorella, I'm getting a great source of "green", along with some very impressive health benefits. You should always research potential dietary supplements, as well as asking your Dr., or a nutritionist's opinion.

I purchased the smaller 228 tablet bag, not the larger bag listed here. However, the top review for this product had a warning label that I think scared a lot of people off. There is an allergen statement regarding nuts, but it does NOT have the state of California prop 65 warning label. I received this item recently (6/17) and it did not have any such warning inside or out of the package even though it's made by the same company and comes from the same country. I live in California so you'd think of all places the warning label would have appeared here. I'm not here to claim that the product is safe or isn't safe; I'm simply stating that it no longer has that warning label on the package. I just wanted to clarify that for people who might be misinformed by the top review.

My sister in law turned me on to this product. I take them every day to help detox from the heavy metals in NYC dust (from all the cars and boiler (heating for buildings) exhaust). The chlorophyll level is amazing they are highly nutritious (I'm a licensed primary care provider in NY State), and my dog loves eating them like candy (ever seen a dog grazing on grass?). The cell walls are broken by centrifuge not heat, so nutrients are not lost.

I have only positive results from this product,…I have more energy, feel better with a sense that my Immune system will be the better for it ! Thanks

I've tried different brands of powdered Chlorella, but when I want Chlorella tablets, I usually buy Sunfood Chlorella. I've never had a reason to switch to another brand. It's a high quality product.
